The air filter element of the new BMW X3 is located in the engine compartment, with the air filter housing positioned above the engine. Method to remove the filter element: Loosen the 7 fixing screws, then lift the housing to take out the air filter element. The cabin air filter of the BMW X3 should be cleaned every 3 months or within 5,000 km of driving, and replaced when necessary. Do not wash the filter element with water. Function of the cabin air filter: Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. Separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, providing strong and lasting moisture absorption. Ensuring driving safety: Prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for the driver and passengers and safe driving. Provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing the inhalation of harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. Maintains clean cabin air free from bacteria, creating a healthy environment.

Can Lane Change Assist Be Installed Afterwards?

If the vehicle is not equipped with this device, lane change assist can be installed afterward. Here is additional information: 1. The meaning of lane change assist: Lane change assist can also be called blind spot monitoring. Previously, manufacturers such as Volvo, Ford, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz have included this feature. 2. The main function of lane change assist: Due to the design of the vehicle body, the visual range provided by the rearview mirrors always has some blind spots. The driver's head cannot always turn around, which would increase driving danger instead. Therefore, lane change assist was invented. When changing lanes, if there is a vehicle approaching from behind, lane change assist will alert the driver to ensure safe lane changing.

How many liters of engine oil does the Focus require?

Ford Focus requires 4 liters of engine oil. Here is some information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil is referred to as the lifeblood of the engine, serving functions such as cleaning, sealing, cushioning, rust prevention, lubrication, and heat dissipation within the engine. 2. The viscosity of the engine oil should neither be too high nor too low. If the viscosity is too high, it will increase the resistance during engine operation, leading to reduced power output and increased fuel consumption. 3. If the oil viscosity is too low, it will prevent the formation of a stable oil film on the surfaces of engine components during operation, thereby accelerating engine wear.

What are the classifications of engine oil grades?

Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant. The classification of engine oil grades is based on quality grades and viscosity grades. Below are the specific details about engine oil grades: 1. Quality grade classification: The "S" series represents oil for gasoline engines, while the "C" series represents oil for diesel engines. From "SA" up to "SN", each subsequent letter indicates better performance than the previous one. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the higher the quality grade, making the engine oil more effective. 2. Viscosity grade classification: The "W" stands for Winter. The smaller the number before the "W", the better the low-temperature fluidity of the engine oil.

How many differential locks does the Pajero V73 have?

The Pajero V73 has 1 differential lock, which can be activated via a dedicated button. Function of automotive differential lock: The purpose of a differential lock is to enhance a vehicle's off-road capability on rough terrain. When one driving axle loses traction, the differential lock quickly locks the differential, turning both axles into a rigid connection. This allows most of the torque to be transferred to the non-slipping axle, fully utilizing its traction to generate sufficient driving force and enabling the vehicle to continue moving. Types of differential locks: High-friction self-locking types (including friction plate type and sliding cam type), forced locking type (a differential lock installed on ordinary symmetrical bevel gear differentials), and viscous coupling type (used as differentials in some four-wheel-drive vehicles with viscous coupling shafts).
